It’s January and that means it’s time for Wave Season sales. As we like to say in the biz, “Book during Wave Season, for all the right reasons!” Okay… we. We don’t actually say that. Still, booking a cruise during Wave Season makes a lot of sense. The cruise lines all roll out strong offers … Read more
I can’t help but feel that some of this is just petty. In the last few months, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) and Celebrity Cruises banned popular travel items. The customer response has been, mixed, as far as I can tell, and our personal experience at Far Far Away Travels was, in the politest terms … Read more
Last year, Virgin Voyages launched a Work from Home Cruise offering, one that they repeated this year. It was popular enough to warrant a repeat, but Virgin didn’t stop there. As one of my favorite sayings goes, “If less is more, just imagine how much more, MORE will be!” That’s apparently Virgin’s favorite saying too, … Read more
Chances are that if you’ve sailed Virgin in the Caribbean, you’ve stopped at Bimini. It’s not on every itinerary they have in the region, but it’s on a lot of them – and with good reason. When they are in port, the place becomes the Virgin Beach Club at Bimini and it’s exclusive to them. … Read more
We’ve sailed Virgin a number of times now, but none of us ever tried out the Splash of Romance package. Which is kinda strange, to be honest. Virgin Voyages’ Splash of Romance is one of the most popular add-ons they offer and we get asked about it all the time by clients. So, on our … Read more

For me, this was the first time sailing from the city and, while Virgin Voyages was wonderful, Miami had some rough spots. First thing … Read more
Emerald Princess Review: 4/5 With a fleet as large as Princess’ and the age of several of their ships, I think it’s only fair that I start this review with a couple of important pieces of information. I was on the Emerald Princess, one of the older ships in the line’s fleet. She entered service … Read more
I need to exercise every day – at least a walk. It can be more than that, like a run or a bike ride, but it’s got to be something. If I don’t, I start to feel pretty blech and I know that I’m not the only one. Virgin Voyages exercise offerings gave me tons … Read more
The West Michigan coastline has always been a hidden gem. At least it is to everyone who doesn’t live near Lake Michigan. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say, I thought you could see across it!” or “It’s like an ocean!” But in the last few years, there’s been quite an … Read more
